Beauty and the Beast Opening


Wonderful fun. I'm playing in the orchestra for the local CYT performance of Disney'sBeauty and the Beast. It's fun. Playing Bass, it's a good exercise for me to read through the score.

Harry Frankfurt's "On Bullshit"

Harry Frankfurt's "On Bullshit"
One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share.

So starts a really great piece on the modern tendency to "spin" everything. I really like the conclusion that Eugene Oregon draws in his blog entry of the same title
I think that accurately sums the Bush administration and much of the Republican party - the truth or falsity of their views are completely subservient to their desire to promote their agenda and "get away" with all the bullshit that they spew.

So true.

What You'll Wish You'd Known

Paul Graham has written another excellent article titled What You'll Wish You'd Known, things he wishes somebody had told him in high school. From the /. entry:
..."suggesting, among other things, that students treat school like a day job, working on interesting projects to avoid what he has found to be the most common regret among adults of their high school days: wasting time."
Like all of Graham's writing, highly recommended!
